Very interesting and a hopeful sign for MF lenses in general.

Thats a very good price.
They should sell a lot of copies if they get international distributors.

That's a new Helios 40-2?

It is exactly the same? The serial number starts with 7?

I mean, even the coating looks the same. I would buy instantly if the new Helios had multi-coated optics.

[poilu]

that's great news !

I honestly never though I'd be looking for a Russian Proxy-buying service...

But I am now.
